Is it possible to run both versions on the same web server? I have a few items that run on PHP4 and I want to start learning PHP5. I was wondering if I could do both on the same server or should I set up a separate VMware system to run each version.

Thanks. . . Matt

Yes, you can. I saw a howto for configuring php4 to run as module, and php5 to run as CGI. That said, I'd think that separate machines is the way to go, especially if one of those is production, eh? That way you can make all your production scripts PHP5 safe and migrate the whole kaboodle without hassle.

best,

Another possibility would be a second apache installed to a different root with a php5 module running on another port.

You could even configure them to share a document root if you wanted.
